Smart-Start Therapy for Canine B-Cell Lymphoma

Lymphoma is one of the most common cancers we see in dogs. The current standard treatment — a combination chemotherapy protocol called CHOP — has been used for decades and can put most dogs into remission. Unfortunately, the cancer usually comes back within 6 to 12 months, and once it returns, it becomes much harder to treat.

We also know that CHOP has real drawbacks for families and their dogs: It's a big commitment. Treatment represents a significant financial investment and requires frequent visits to the veterinary hospital over several months.
